Executive Assistant to the CEO
Location: Mumbai
Type: Full-time
Reporting to: CEO, Corruga
About Corruga
Corruga is a design-led, purpose-driven brand creating thoughtful, hands-on experiences and products that encourage children and families to slow down, make, explore and spend meaningful time together.
We’re looking for an Executive Assistant to the CEO who can work closely with the founder across the many moving parts of building and growing Corruga.
This is not a traditional administrative role. It’s a high-ownership, hands-on position for someone who is organised, proactive, resourceful and excited by the energy of an early-stage brand.
The Role
As Executive Assistant to the CEO, you will work directly with the founder and become an integral part of the day-to-day functioning of Corruga.
You’ll help manage priorities, keep projects moving, coordinate with people across different areas of the business and make sure nothing falls through the cracks.
Key Responsibilities
CEO Support & Organisation
- Manage the CEO’s calendar, meetings, appointments and day-to-day schedule.
- Help prioritise tasks, follow-ups and deadlines.
- Prepare for meetings and ensure action points are documented and followed through.
- Handle correspondence, communication and follow-ups on behalf of the CEO when required.
- Keep track of important conversations, commitments and pending tasks.
Project & Business Coordination
- Work closely with the CEO on ongoing projects across Corruga.
- Coordinate with vendors, designers, freelancers, collaborators, schools, event partners and other stakeholders.
- Follow up with different teams and ensure timelines are being met.
- Create and maintain project trackers, timelines and checklists.
- Help turn ideas into actionable plans and ensure execution happens smoothly.
- Assist with research, presentations, proposals and business documents.
Events & Experiences
- Support the planning and execution of Corruga events, workshops and brand experiences.
- Coordinate logistics, vendors, venues, materials, guest lists and communications.
- Be hands-on during events and help ensure everything runs smoothly.
- Assist with partnerships, collaborations and outreach.
Brand & Growth Support
- Assist the CEO with research into potential partnerships, schools, brands, creators and business opportunities.
- Support outreach and relationship management.
- Help with social media/content coordination when required.
- Assist in putting together presentations, pitch decks and marketing material.
- Stay updated on relevant trends, brands, experiences and opportunities that could be useful for Corruga.
General
- Handle ad-hoc tasks that come with working in a growing business.
- Identify problems before they become problems.
- Bring structure to situations that may be fast-moving or ambiguous.
- Be willing to jump between strategy, admin, operations, events and creative work depending on what the business needs.
What We're Looking For
- 1 year of experience in an executive assistant, operations, business, marketing, project coordination or similar role.
- Extremely organised with strong attention to detail.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Proactive — you don't wait to be told what needs to happen.
- Comfortable managing multiple things at once.
- Strong follow-up skills and an ability to keep people accountable.
- Resourceful and good at figuring things out independently.
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.
- Good with Google Workspace, Excel/Sheets, PowerPoint/Keynote and basic project management tools.
- A strong sense of ownership and responsibility.
- Someone who is comfortable with ambiguity and enjoys variety.
- An eye for detail, aesthetics and brand would be a big plus.
- Experience in startups, consumer brands, education, events, design or creative businesses would be an advantage.
Most Importantly
We’re looking for someone who is smart, dependable, curious and genuinely excited to build something.
Someone who can sit in a meeting one minute, coordinate with a vendor the next, put together a presentation in the afternoon and help execute an event the following day.
You should be someone who takes initiative, thinks ahead and gets things done.
At Corruga, there is a lot of room to learn and grow. The role will evolve with the business, and the right person will have the opportunity to take on increasing responsibility across operations, brand, partnerships and business development.
What You’ll Get
- Work directly with the CEO and have visibility into how an early-stage brand is built.
- Exposure to multiple aspects of running and growing a business.
- A fast-moving, creative and entrepreneurial working environment.
- Opportunity to take ownership of projects and grow with Corruga.
- The chance to be part of building a brand with a strong purpose around creativity, sustainability and meaningful experiences.
If you’re someone who loves being at the centre of things, is naturally organised, gets excited by new ideas and wants to learn what it takes to build a brand from the ground up, we’d love to hear from you.
